    Availability of Patanol/Opatanol/Pataday (eye drops) at pharmacy?

    This question may be right up dv8's alley - but if others with pharmacy experience have info..... por favor! This is the only eye drop I've found that works for me with the occasional allergies that cause my eyes to itch like hell. Nothing else comes close to relieve the itchy eye symptoms I...

    Hole-In-One at Las Aromas, Santiago golf course

    I told Grahame (BushBaby) I insisted on posting details and photos from the hole-in-one the old rascal managed to card when we played at Las Aromas on February 3rd. It was a cool experience for me to witness a HIO, I had never been present to see one made. For non-golfers: Grahame got a...

    Old photos of Cofresi

    I was looking through some old photographs and found some I took around Cofresi - I think in the mid to late 80's. My best guess on these is 1986. Anyway, not real exciting, but I thought that those familiar with Cofresi might enjoy seeing the area before the resorts, etc. Festero

    Smoking up the golf course with Grahame & HB!

    Just returned from another fun visit to POP, with the only possible exception being the 3 days of torrential rain. It happens. Before the rain came I got in a great round of golf at Playa Dorada with Grahame (BushBaby) and then a couple days later another round in Santiago with Grahame and...

    Looking for piano in DR

    I'm trying to help my father (in Puerto Plata) locate a piano. He checked the yellow pages for Santiago, went to the places he thought might have some, but had no luck. He is looking for a good quality used, or new, traditional acoustic or electronic piano. North Coast or Santiago preferred...

    Looking for these Dominican art prints (architectural)

    Does anyone know where this set of 4 prints can be purchased? Preferably in the Pto Pta area or North coast. I took these pictures about 15 years ago in a bank in Puerto Plata. No one at the bank knew where they might be available. They are signed by the artist "Lobo." The one featuring the...

    "The Dominican" hurts my brain.

    For years my ears and brain have ached when I heard someone refer to the Dominican Republic as "The Dominican." It has always sounded entirely awkward to me, just as if referring to The Check (Czech) Republic as "The Check." As in: "I just returned from a nice visit to the Check." While I am...
